The Red Book® 2018

Welcome With the publication of our 11th edition of The Red Book, we challenged ourselves to provide more value to you the reader. For the very first edition of The Red Book, our concept was to produce a reference for the Barbados property market. It was never meant to be a sales listing guide of what we had to offer, but rather a reference point for the industry to gauge the market. To this end we gathered as much info as we could, we verified it as best we could, and then we tabulated it and published it in a way that was easy to understand. We learnt much in this process and we developed our knowledge culture around this annual publication. Knowledge is a very interesting resource - unlike other resources, where the more of it you extract the less you have left, with knowledge the more we gather the more there is to be gained.

We were very pleased when last year our Grenada office published their first edition; and, there are many more territories in the works.

As always, the team at Terra Caribbean decided to push the envelope and to “change it up.” We believe that often standing still means the world goes past you, so we like to move quickly to stay ahead and help you our clients to also stay ahead of the trends.

Internally we called this 11th edition “The Red Book version 2.0”. The aim is the same - to provide a reference guide on the Barbados market for our clients and the wider industry within the segments of the market that we operate. We try to suggest some possible conclusions from the data but we certainly do not mean to offer specific advice from this high level publication.

Our Advisory, Brokerage and Facility Management teams offer advice every day within the scope of their respective practice areas. We provide that advice to a wide spectrum of clients - from some of the largest conglomerates in the region to individuals contemplating their very first real estate transaction.

We believe that an informed market place makes better decisions. We participate in that market place and we have a passion for knowledge. The Red Book is a reflection of that passion and we hope that you will find our latest edition to be even more useful in your decision-making process regarding real estate investment. As always I am very appreciative of the whole team for putting this together. The online version can be found on our website, so please feel free to share it as much as you like. Also remember to drop me a line with any idea that you have for a future edition and how we could be of help.

Please enjoy reading the articles or just looking at the property data. Most of all, I hope that when you have looked at it you will conclude that you are more informed about the market. The Red Book is often quoted by individuals and has even been referenced by the International Monetary Fund. I am not sure how we feel about that but I guess they thought it was useful.

I hope you will too.

Sincerely,

Andrew W Mallalieu, CPA MRICS Chief Executive

Let’s Take A Caribbean View It has been an unusual last few seasons for Barbados and indeed an unusual last few seasons for the wider Caribbean. The world is changing, economies evolve and develop and Barbados has seen a big adjustment.

Islands and the French West Indies in particular were severely affected and are, to a varying degree, still in recovery mode. It is worth being aware that 70% of the Caribbean was untouched by the storms and for the likes of southern lying Caribbean islands like Barbados they are positioned outside of the ‘hurricane belt’, so much less prone to extreme weather.

The focus for the wider Caribbean, leading up to Christmas, was on the devastating effect of the most recent hurricanes and storms in various parts of the region. The British Virgin

The Knight Frank team has recently published our Caribbean Inside View publication, and it was reported that: The performance of the Caribbean’s prime residential market varies significantly from island to island. In recent years momentum has been firmly focused on the island of Mustique, the Bahamas (in particular New Providence and Paradise Island) and prior to Hurricane Irma, St Barts. These islands have all recorded strong sales activity, the only constraining factor being their lack of inventory. Elsewhere, the BVI and Barbados have experienced weaker market sentiment.

For owners in Barbados, many of whom have owned properties for well over a decade, and in London and other established economies, values have risen and fallen as they do anywhere.

Differently to a decade ago, today the markets are more fluid, driven primarily by political and fiscal uncertainty. For Barbados, prices particularly on the West Coast went through an upwards trend from 2008, and then in recent years have experienced a natural price correction. Today, if sellers want to do deals this season, they must ensure pricing is attractive and justifiable.

Buyers today want comparables and market evidence to support pricing. They want the track record of highly professional agents like Terra Luxury | Knight Frank. The headline for this season is

that for anyone who has been considering buying on the island, Barbados is the most affordable it has been for probably 10 years. When advising any of my clients on buying a home in the Caribbean we usually start with what their dreams and aspirations are and then travel through the region discussing the islands, the types of properties available and the lifestyle benefits. With friendly locals, one of the best all year around climates (closer to the equator and further south than most), restaurants, shops, bars, wildlife, history, cricket, polo, golf, horse racing, houses, apartments, sea view, golf view, polo view - this is why I always describe Barbados as the ‘Swiss army knife’ of Caribbean islands. In all of the Caribbean, there is a bit of a generational ‘changing of the guard’ taking place. With many long term owners now selling they are being replaced by a new generation.

Albeit a new generation that still wants what Barbados has always been famous for, but also thinking about Barbados needing to be attractive for their children and any younger family or friends.

FIVE KEY TRENDS 1

2

The island has seen this need most strongly in recent years, and thankfully is adapting and you can see it in the type of investment now coming to the island.

A gap in the market is now being filled for a more active and fun beach scene for a slightly younger generation often the children of current owners. New beach bars and restaurants have opened, and in particular, the big brand of Nikki Beach has been a roaring success, bringing a much more glamorous and fun feel to the island that you might find in Ibiza, or St Tropez and closer to home, in St. Barts.

The return of the US buyer Following a lull in 2016, US enquiries have strengthened in 2017. Rising consumer confidence, firm economic fundamentals and easy connections from the East Coast explain the strengthening demand.

Mustique sees sales and rentals strengthen Home to only 100 villas and with the Cotton House Hotel at its heart, the island has witnessed strong sales activity in 2017 with a property sold at around US$35m, being the highest price for several years.

Hurricane season - impact on build quality

4

Bahamas on the radar of Chinese investors

The Florida Building Code (FBC) a set of standards used as a benchmark in hurricane -exposed areas, is being widely implemented across the region. In the short-term expect greater focus on less-exposed islands.

Stronger opportunities for investment and trade co-operation have been formed between Chinese companies and the Bahamas which in turn is leading to rising interest from Chinese HNWIs.

Combining the above with the market and prices at the turn of a low point, the smart money will start coming back to Barbados. If a client was looking to invest in an island that is adapting for the better, for the future, Barbados must command attention.

Barbados is moving in a new direction for the future and there has never been a better moment to buy.

Post-Brexit - a new safe haven?

There is potential for northern European and UK buyers seeking a second home in a warm climate to look more closely at the Caribbean as a safe-haven destination post April 2019. New direct flight routes from Europe are making the Caribbean more accessible but future currency shifts are likely to influence the scale of interest.

HOLIDAY RENTALS:

Being Agile in a Disruptive Market “The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” William Arthur Ward Adjusting the sails and riding the winds is a fitting analogy for the Holiday Rentals industry in Barbados and globally. No longer can we sit by and expect that our traditional guest will decide to return to Barbados year after year (even though our repeat rate is surprisingly high); or that the channels we always referred to for business will be the ones that year after year deliver loyal and pleasant guests. The world has changed, and with it so have the ways in which people travel, plan holidays and seek information on unique experiences.

This is most evident on the higher end of our collection: agents and referral rates are far higher than independent guest enquiries via distribution channels. Looking deeper at our key source markets (UK, USA, and Canada) our Flagship and Luxury guests have increased by an average of 127% between 2015 to the end of 2017 - a direct result of strong repeat clients, and trusted long standing relationships with some of the world’s leading wholesalers and travel agents.

As an interesting paradigm shift, we see quite a different reason for growth in our Classic and Essential portfolio. These portfolios have also enjoyed growth in the same source markets - 135% over the same two-year period. However, these are derived more consistently via DIY channels, the likes of Airbnb, Expedia and Homeaway / VRBO.

And let’s be honest! No longer do people travel to simply relax on a white sandy beach… that is a big part of what they desire, but they also want unique destinations with the ability to experience the things they don’t have at home. From great food, including street delicacies and 5-star cuisine, to adrenaline pumping activities and fulfilling a lifelong dream - be it competing in a triathlon or ocean swim - our visitors to Barbados have grown to expect more from their vacations. And more we must deliver.

The villa experience opens a plethora of options for guests, customizable and fitting for each and every member of the group. In-villa staff provide the unique opportunity to interact with local experts: learn to cook our Bajan favourites, for a private beach picnic, let the villa’s boatman teach you to snorkel, or simply swim with the turtles. Each guest’s stay is a personal adventure, crafted by a team of experts who truly understand what it takes to make a vacation memorable.

That all said, it all starts with finding the perfect holiday home, and as experts in this area we stay abreast of all the changing channels and trends. This ensures our portfolio enjoys the desired exposure to new guests, all the while keeping and developing relationships with past guests to encourage their return. Having been in the industry for over 40-years you can imagine the long, trusted relationships with repeat guests and traditional agents who know the island well and themselves refer visitors. As the travel business changes, with more and more online channels it’s encouraging to see the amount of visitors who still rely on a personal recommendation, stories of a wonderful experience and a 'real person' to guide them to our expert team on island.

Recognizing the homes that perform best on each of the distribution networks; yielding the rates and seasonal promotions to attract bookings; and looking for opportunities to increase occupancy to achieve owner’s objectives - all takes careful analysis and a flexible yet consistent approach. Our team must continue to change strategically and grow with the changing marketplace.

Embracing the new platforms while strengthening our ties with the traditional operators, to ensure our homes attract the right guests within every segment.

Accommodating the Villa Needs of the Uber Wealthy Traveller “The very rich,” as F. Scott Fitzgerald so eloquently said, “are different from you and me;” nowhere is this more apparent than in the experience demanded by today’s ultra-ultra high net worth traveller.

These are the types of travellers for which Barbadian doors were opened a little bit wider during the unfortunate natural events of the latter part of 2017, which resulted in the Caribbean markets of Anguilla, St. Maarten and St. Barts being virtually inaccessible.

For the luxury traveller, every detail and bespoke desire must be attended to. Continuous attention to health, wellness and entertainment are critical and demand around-the-clock attention. The mega wealthy may require a chef and kitchen assistants, drivers to shuttle them, a butler to mix a cold cocktail, housekeepers and gardeners for the daily maintenance and upkeep of the sprawling home and grounds, laundresses to ensure that clothes are always clean and ironed, security staff to guarantee privacy and safety and a 24-hour concierge and property manager.

Barbados boasts an extended track record of catering to the wealthy and uber wealthy, so we welcomed the additional travellers who were new to Barbados’ shores. With new customers came new requests; suffice to say, it was an interesting insight into the variations in preferences of those accustomed to, for example, a St. Barts Holiday.

Despite the differences in requests, expectations remain the same. What is common for all markets is that luxury holidays are about service. Our Flagship properties represent the crème de la crème of luxury vacation rental, each one offering that extra cut above typical luxury quality; stunning beauty, exceptional furnishings and, of course, dedicated service. Blue Sky Luxury’s shortlist of flagship properties are the most impressive luxury villas available on the local market. These homes (and their rates) are what the term ‘wow-factor’ was invented for.

It is an industry fact that mega wealthy travellers usually demand large homes and multi-bedroom villas that facilitate vacations with friends and family (according to Resonance Consulting, 45 percent of the top one percent are planning vacations with friends, 41 percent with kids and 30 percent multi-generational vacations). Flagship villas are sizeable estates with a minimum of five bedrooms and more commonly, more than seven bedrooms to accommodate large groups.

...expectations remain the same. What is common for all markets is that

LUXURY HOLIDAYS ARE ABOUT SERVICE

We curate our portfolio into the following 4 categories, with Flagship aimed at satisfying the uber wealthy traveller.

This degree of client service and satisfaction requires extensive staffing. Ultimately, and as shown in the comparison chart below, this comes at a premium price - for both the villa’s owner and its guests.

Terra Caribbean Barbados Beachfront Condo Index - South Coast The BCPI for the South Coast 140 beachfront condominiums in 2017 indicates a small percentage change 120 from the 2016 results. With the record setting development Capri selling out 100 its initial offering, luxury units of that standard are in short supply. This is likely to remain the case until the 80 launch of ownership option upon the completion of the Hyatt. A notable 60 re-addition to the market is the Ocean Reef development which has had a 40 good uptake after re-entering the market with adjusted pricing.

Price in the New Market How much longer can we continue to be romantic about the glory days of 2008? Property values have changed substantially since then, however property ‘prices’ have not necessarily followed suit.

The transaction volume numbers are in for 2017 (see Figure 1) and by and large it seems the market has flattened out since 2015 and is down just 0.1% from 2016. The footnote here is this still translates to the lowest sales volume on record in the last 25 years.

With the considerable amount of inventory on the market, perhaps it’s time for vendors to join together in universal acceptance that the old market is gone and the new market is here to stay - at least for the foreseeable future. There is certainly one group of market participants that is very much aware of the new market, and that is the buyers.

It is an interesting side-bar to note that the real estate market has generally been on an opposing trajectory with the tourism market (stay-over visitors) over the last 10 years. This is particularly evident over the recent 5 years where stay-over visitor arrivals are up 30% and in particular during 2017 where arrivals were

Property

With volume flat, and most of the market still in oversupply, the ‘elephant’ in the market continues to be price. A substantial segment of the market has grudgingly re-priced and generally that is where the market is moving. The repricing effort has been driven in part by lending institutions marketing and selling distressed properties at scale. Repricing is taking place at all levels of the market, from modest single-family dwellings in the country to luxury beachfront villas (there is one which had a US$15M reduction and is still looking for a buyer). Those vendors that continue their romance with the old market (and there are many) are finding their properties sitting for protracted exposure periods.

Exposure Periods Figure 3 above illustrates the average “months on the market” for properties sold in the recent three-year period* by price segment. Overall the data indicates that 50% of the properties sold were listed on the market for 12 months or less, 72% for 24 months or less and approx 90% for 36 months or less.

This is notable when one considers the staggering volume of inventory which has been sitting on the market in excess of 5 years and in some cases for 10 years or more. The data also illustrates the correlation between higher priced properties and longer marketing periods, but no surprise there.

Notable is the fact that those properties listed for 36 months at the point of sale, generally had the highest number of recorded price reductions over the exposure period. The punch line for sellers with properties listed in excess of 36 months is they have likely carried their property unnecessarily and followed the market down.

Cash Yields It’s one thing to hold a property over a 36 month period if there is a reasonable cash yield. A reasonable yield would cover running costs, include a capex provision and provide some measure of return on the property. Figure 4 illustrates our observations of the unleveraged cash returns generated from the various property segments.

Suffice to say the market has a habit of overestimating cash returns and also of excluding a responsible provision for capex

FIGURE 4

annually in the calculation. The majority of residential properties are yielding marginal returns (negative in the case of many luxury villas once prime weeks are blocked for owner use) and hardly warrant holding a property for longer than necessary.

Summary The prospects for market growth in the next 12 months are distant and at minimum on the other side of the 2018 elections.

Two obvious items on the watch list would be a GDP growth rate at 2% or better (best estimates are well below this) and a Sterling somewhere around $1.50 or better (again outside most conventional thinking in the next 12 months). In any event, with growth unlikely in 2018 and inventory in oversupply, price is key in the new market. Those vendors with properties sitting on the market for protracted periods would be well served to mark their prices to market or to get comfortable for the long haul.

Insights into the Rental Market Corporate rentals is an important part of the residential rental market in Barbados. We defined this segment as rental properties with excellent finishes, features, and amenities found in locations with proximity to work and schools. Rents in this segment typically range from US$2,500 and up.

The information shown below is based on information gathered from rentals in this segment completed by Terra Caribbean Barbados in the last three years and provides a snapshot of the market.

The most popular size of property in the data set is three bedrooms with over 50% of the rentals during the three-year

period being of this size. The average rental price for 3 bed properties was US$3,970. The bulk of rentals in this period were priced in the $2.5K - $5K price range with 76% of the data set in this range.

Christ Church and St. James continue to be the most popular locations in the data set with 53% and 36% respectively, accounting for nearly 90% of the total. Apartments are the most commonly rented property type, with 47% of the sample.

First-Time Buyers

The real cost of home ownership?

Buying a property is a big investment. And as a first-time home buyer, you have much to consider: getting pre-approved for a bank loan, deciding what type of property fits your lifestyle, figuring out where you want to live, finding a qualified agent, and then navigating all the steps from the initial offer to the closing.

Crunching the numbers - the cost of buying a home So the bank tells you that you are preapproved for a home loan with a purchase price of $300,000. Upon a second visit to a home, you are sold; it just feels right. It’s listed at $325,000, but with a great agent by your side, you’ve been able to negotiate the price down to match your budget. It’s a done deal - offer accepted! Congratulations, you’ve begun the process of buying a home at $300,000. So now, what will it really cost you? Along with your 10% deposit, you will also need to have an additional $11,286. Refer to chart for breakdown.

Purchase Price

If you’re like most first-time buyers, you’ve probably done some research and brushed up on a lot of this. While that’s a great start, it’s important to dive a little deeper. For instance, beyond the list price, have you considered all the costs associated with buying a home? In this article, we’ll break down those numbers and also share a few key strategies that could help you avoid major pitfalls and streamline the buying process.

Additional Costs

3 key strategies that save you time and money On top of those costs, there are other factors that could impact the bottom line. Below are three key strategies that every first-time buyer should consider when they are looking at property.

$2,700

Registration of the mortgage (stamp duty 1%)

1. Know what’s below - Before buying land, it’s wise to find out what’s under the ground. That’s because the last thing you want to hit as you dig for your home’s foundation is rock 10-feet under. To avoid this, consider having test holes done as a condition of the sale. The cost of this is site specific and some providers offer free site visits to give you a quotation.

Assuming a 90% mortgage The bank charges you for processing the application

2. Get an inspection - Making your offer subject to an inspection is critical, especially if you’re considering an older home. When you hire a house inspector or structural engineer, they’ll do a full assessment of the property, checking the condition of items such as electrical, roofing, flooring, septic systems, and pointing out any possible structural issues.

3. Define the lines - Remember, your agent is not a land surveyor. If you are interested in accurately defining a property’s boundary marks, consider asking your agent if the owner would consider showing the line marks before the deposit is paid as this is usually done before closing.

You are responsible for the mortgagee's attorney fees The land tax year runs 1st April to 31st March.

The taxes charged are pro-rated according to when the sale closes

Getting your foot in the door, one step at a time Buying a home for the first time can seem overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to work with an agent who can guide you through every step of buying a home. This should include giving you these little extra nuggets of information that not only help you find the perfect home, but also ensure you make a wise long-term investment.

Insurance

$41,286

Total Upfront Cost

Insurance is based on the house and not land

"Banks recommend additional insurance options to mortgagee's that you should really consider. Critical Health insurance is advisable should anything happen to you in cases or heart attack, stroke or cancer, this will cover your mortgage payments until you recuperate. Life Insurance or Term Insurance is also something to consider in case of untimely death.”

Land Tax and the Law of Gravity The effect of the global recession on the local market has been significant, characterised by substantial reductions in transaction volume and demonstrably longer exposure periods across all property segments.

Continued economic challenges have prolonged the sluggish conditions such that we are seeing an increasing supply of distressed residential properties, primarily in the low and middleincome segments of the market, where financial institutions are implementing measures to recover on their lending. This situation has been further compounded by an over supply of residential land, which despite prices declining since 2014 (as discussed and demonstrated in the Terra Land Price Index shown on page 98), appears to demonstrate a decline in appetite for real estate.

and for built properties the Officers will conduct a full inspection, including measuring and photographing the property (residential), inspecting or using the income approach to value (commercial), and again reviewing comparable sales transactions. On completion of their analysis, the Officer either reduces the site/property value and therefore the property tax is assessed (resulting in a refund to the taxpayer), or the objection is overruled.

Interestingly, the revaluation process utilises a “mass appraisal” approach to assess trends in large volumes of data, which while a widely accepted tool for the valuation of property for taxation purposes, differs from techniques used by Valuers focusing on individual properties.

These factors directly impact the property tax revenue to be earned by the Government as the tax is calculated based on property type and value, with some classes given special rebates or exemptions once the required criteria have been met. The Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA), reassess property values on a triennial basis, and the most recent re-valuation was conducted in 2017.

Every parish is segmented into land tax reference areas. During the revaluation exercise, Officers within the Land Valuations & Assessment section at the BRA conduct checks of properties (land and built) in each land tax reference area, and examine recent sales transactions for similar properties in the same reference area. Two officers are assigned to each parish. Property values are then determined based on the analysis performed, and the relevant tax assessed based on the final value. Of note, the tax rates and bands did not change in the 2017 re-valuation, however while some taxpayers noted little or no change, others reported increases in the range of 10% - 100% in the assessed site and/or improved values, resulting in substantial increases in their property tax obligation.

Taxpayers are required to pay the tax due or risk incurring penalties and interest, but are also allowed to file an objection in writing to the Revenue Commissioner, within 30 days of the tax assessment issue date. The BRA reviews objections received

BRA REASSESSES PROPERTY VALUES ON A TRIENNIAL BASIS THE MOST RECENT RE-VALUATION WAS CONDUCTED IN 2017

One would anticipate declining property prices as noted above would translate to reduced values on which tax is assessed.

However, with recovery actions taken by financial institutions in compressed market periods, recent sale transactions may not reflect the true market value of a property.

Historically, however, real estate in Barbados has been considered a reliable investment, so if the saying “what goes up must come down” is correct, then the opposite (hopefully) should hold true. Consider though, that future rises in property values may well equal an increase in property tax in the 2020 revaluation.

Terra Caribbean Barbados Land Price Index This year is the third time we have published the Terra Caribbean Land Price Index (TCLPI) and with each iteration, we refine the process for information gathered and add to the volume of information in the analysis set. We continue to operate in a market with imperfection information, and as such, this data that we curate and maintain grows in value with each successive year. It is a live data set with additions constantly being made to the most recent periods as well as to historic periods as new information becomes available.

As a reminder, the index shows shifts in median price per square foot of vacant land sold in Barbados from the baseline year of 2009. With complete year data for 2016 we have revised the 2016 index position down from 97.1 shown as the provisional number in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Book to 95.4.

Current data for 2017 shows a return to the downward trend seen since the peak of the index in 2011 and is the lowest we have seen in the index so far with a value of 89.4 or 10.6 points

normal total data view. The volume leader is Christ Church, which is not surprising, with several developers offering residential developments in the parish (e.g. The Grove), due to its excellent location for professionals working on the south.

St. James commands the highest median price in this subset of the data, which as we noted last year is partially attributed to the nature of many of the sales in the parish being in niche developments.

Beachfront Property and the High-Water Mark Beachfront land has always had great appeal to persons wanting to own a piece of paradise. In Barbados, beachfront development has ranged from as far north as Port St. Charles, all the way down to The Crane Private Residences in the South-East of the island.

Over the years, the prices of these properties have increased as the available supply of beachfront land and villas, declined. The coastline these properties sit on is also a key economic asset as a tourist attraction and an access point for fishing and maritime transport; these are among the many reasons it is a vital asset to protect.

The effect of climate change has resulted in increasing instances of beach erosion and cliff instability at various locations around the island. These issues, among others, have caused the need to implement policies that ensure sustainable coastline development for the future. As there are no private beaches in Barbados, properties which front onto a beach only own the land up to the high-water mark. This is the line of the highest run up of waves at the mean tide between spring 1and neap2 tides - a concept illustrated in Figure 1 below:

Average High Water Mark

Measurements to determine the high-water mark are made at the time of any ordinary high tide occurring on the sixth, seventh or eighth days before or after the day of a full moon.3 Owners of beachfront property should be aware that the high-water mark can change over time, resulting in the ownership of either more or less land where there has been either beach accretion or erosion. When it comes to coastal development, an assessment by the Coastal Zone Management Unit (CZMU) is required to confirm whether development is indeed possible. If so, buildings are generally required to be constructed with a set-back4 of 30m (100 feet) from the high-water mark on a beach, or 10m (30 feet) for cliffs, measured from the landward point of cliff under cut 5. It is possible, however, that exceptions to this rule may be approved by the Minister with responsibility for Planning6. For example, an increase in the setback so as to preserve and conserve unique landscape features along the coastline, or decreases in setbacks in areas where there are existing buildings.

Whether you’re taking advantage of the Special Development Areas Act, or building the home of your dreams, with any beachfront property, the high-water mark is worth knowing.

Spring tide occurs just after a new or full moon, when there is the greatest difference between high and low water.

A neap tide occurs just after the first or third quarters of the moon when there is the least difference between high and low water.

As defined by the Coastal Zone Management Act Cap.394, Section 32.

The set-back is the required seaward limit of major construction for a coastal property in Barbados This is the point where waves have eroded a cliff’s base forming an indentation referred to as a “wave cut notch”, causing instability in the cliff over time.

Stipulated in Section 18(1) of the Town Planning Act Cap.240.

Villa Rental Market The villa rental market has always been a complimentary product to real estate in Barbados, particularly in the luxury segment. The last major survey of the market was undertaken in 2009 and since then the market has seen significant changes, not just with the type and availability of properties but also in methods for distribution.

We have undertaken a survey of villas for rent in Barbados.

The sample is drawn from the websites of traditional villa rental companies.

Location These properties represent 96% of the sample and are predominantly located in areas traditionally associated with luxury real estate, i.e. West Coast. Beachfront villas account

for just 29% of the rentals found in the survey and although we have focused on villas specifically, it is worth noting that apartments have diversified the market, expanding both the availability on the South Coast and the number of beachfront options significantly.

Of the villas found, 71% are located inland as opposed to on the beachfront

Pricing

Four bedroom villas were the most common size in the survey with 27%, followed closely by three bedrooms with 25%. These two combined represent over 50% of the stock available. Note the houses included in the survey results represent over 1,100 â&#x20AC;&#x153;roomsâ&#x20AC;? if viewed as more traditional accommodation.

As would be expected, pricing generally correlates with size, the chart below shows the median Summer and Winter rates for properties within the survey. Rates for properties of more than nine bedrooms are not shown on the Median Price Chart but are represented in the Winter vs Summer Rates Table.

Barbados Tourism Statistical Reference Guide The Big Picture

Tourism continues to be a key driver in all aspects of Barbadosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economy and has formed a principle component in our Red Book content. This year we present a collection of useful reference statistics about the industry, including total stay over arrivals, a deeper dive into some key markets and a more nuanced look at the arrival numbers.

Stay over arrivals set another record last year with 663,511 total stay over visitors. This also included nine months with individual best arrival numbers. Since the most recent low in 2013, arrivals have recovered by 30%, however last year saw a 5% year on year growth, which is a slowdown from 2015 and 2016 growth rates.

Commercial

Commercial Rental Market The A-Class office market continues to grow at a measured pace. The majority of the new supply constructed in recent years is centred within the Warrens and Welches area.

With supply and demand generally at equilibrium, Developers will generally require a minimum commitment prior to commencement of construction of new properties.

The calibre of buildings continues to improve with a strong focus on energy efficiency and sustainable components in the design and construction of new properties. With one new A-Class office building due to be completed in 2018, it is unlikely we will see any notable increase in supply in the next 12-24 months.

• The most recent addition is 50,000 sq. ft. of A-Class office space at Warrens, of which the majority would be occupied by a single entity.

• Of note is the growth in owner-occupied A-class spaces as corporations seek to house staff in higher standard buildings, resulting in few vacancies of A-Class office space.

• Increase in B-Class and higher vacancies as premium customers and Government entities acquire and occupy their own A-class spaces.

• The Collymore Rock area has the second highest amount of A-Class office space with over 218,000 sq. ft. in 4 office buildings.

How Does your CAM Stack Up? Common area maintenance (CAM) fees, also referred to as ‘service charge’ in some commercial leases, refer to the costs associated with operating and maintaining the space shared by the tenants within a facility, and is charged in addition to the base rent.

The CAM Fee In its simplest form the fee is calculated as the sum of the CAM components ($) divided by the total net leasable space (ft2).

∑ (CAM Components) Total Net Leaseable Space

Supplies

($/ft2 )

Typically, the commercial landscape in Barbados utilises triple net leases (should refer to A-Class) which require the tenant to pay the net amount for three types of costs: property taxes on the leased asset, building insurance and all maintenance in addition to any other agreed fees. Therefore, the CAM fee would include the items in the below chart.

Insurance

Washroom supplies and other general supplies (e.g. toilet paper, hand soap, sanitizer, hand towels, etc.)

Repairs & Maintenance Plant & Equipment This includes costs associated with replacement parts, consumables and routine maintenance for all equipment associated with the common building systems (e.g. potable water system, air conditioning, elevators, generators, fire and security system, electrical systems, sewage system, building envelop, etc.)

Repairs & Maintenance Services Refers to costs associated with maintenance services such as pest control, landscaping, garbage removal and saniwaste as well as salaries for any on-site maintenance personnel. It also includes the costs for décor, advertising and marketing in the case of Shopping Malls.

CAM Composition Proportions

Controlling CAM Fees

Figure 1 below shows the approximate proportion of each CAM component for a typical A-Class commercial office building and a retail property.

Most organizations, if not all, strive to increase revenue by reducing overhead costs. However, one must be cautious that quality is not sacrificed in an effort to trim costs. Value for money should therefore be at the forefront of cost cutting exercises. Here we explore ways in which the top CAM contributors can be controlled and, in some cases, reduced.

Top 5 CAM contributors Based on the above data R&M - Plant & Equipment, Management Fees and Security are common top contributors to CAM fees for commercial office and retail properties in Barbados.

R&M - Plant & Equipment, Property Tax, Insurance, Management Fees and Security are the top five (5) CAM contributors for an A-Class commercial office building. Further insights: • Air conditioning accounts for approximately 50% of the R&M - Plant & Equipment costs.

• Approximately 90% of Security costs is for manned security (guard services)

On the other hand, Management Fees, R&M - Plant & Equipment, R&M - Services, Security and Utilities are the top five (5) contributors for a retail property. Further insights

Property Tax • The only possible way to reduce this component would be to file an objection to have a review of the Land Tax assessment, however, there is no guarantee that it will change, and there is the possibility that it may increase as a result of the re-assessment CAMs are generally composed of nine (9) components as shown in the above chart. The composition of these components may differ across properties due to facility features and functions which some properties may possess that others don’t, and as a result, the top CAM contributors may vary as well.

• Electricity costs account for more than half of the total utilities cost • Manned security (guard services) attribute to 99% of the overall Security costs • About half of the costs regarding R&M - Services comprise décor, advertising and marketing

Landlords should carefully assess their CAMs to determine how best to structure the CAM provision in their leases, while on the other hand, tenants should seek to understand the CAM composition and their contribution. Taking this approach can lead to successful lease negotiations for both parties.

The New Way to Work Workspace is changing. Now more than ever, the demand for flexible and shared office space is on the rise. As of 2017, there were more than 14,000 co-working offices worldwide with 1.2 million people having secured shared office space at some point (2017 Global Co-working Survey).

cooler discussions” and combining social with professional activities can be extremely advantageous. Ten Habitat is a unique example, described as “a home for entrepreneurs to connect, learn and build viable ventures with the support of in-house mentors and access to a global community.”

The industry is full of success stories and valuations worth millions and billions of dollars; WeWork recently hit a $20 billion valuation and Regus, the world’s largest provider of flexible workplaces, now operates more than 2,300 business centres in over 106 countries, including Barbados where it boasts a 90% occupancy rate.

Crunching the numbers: Traditional Leasing vs. Co-working A-Class office space in a prime location in Barbados comes at a premium which may be out of a typical tenant’s price range, especially in the case of a small business or an early-stage bootstrapped start-up.

Regus’ opening in Barbados signalled the arrival of the modern co-working space, however the concept started here back in the 1990s with The Corporate Centre on Bay Street offering serviced offices. One of the greatest drivers of this trend is the entry of millennials in the workforce. The 9 to 5 static and archaic work culture is being dismantled and the rigidity of traditional office structures is becoming a thing of the past. Corporate hierarchies and social norms in business interactions are being redefined and opportunities for collaborative work, individual expression and a greater work-life balance are being embraced - including greater mobility and virtual connectivity.

The Advantages of Flexible Office Space Limited upfront investments, logistics and commitments This is a huge asset to tenants who do not want to deal with the frustration of long term leases, iron clad contracts or moving expenses, that include set-up costs such as telephone, internet, electricity and physical plant preparation. Facilities such as Regus remove the logistical and financial burden of a reception, call centres, mail handling, utility payments, cleaning and maintenance. Perks such as coffee, printing facilities and lunchrooms provide an added benefit.

Scalability With shared office space, tenants benefit from the ability to rent a space for days or months at a time. At Regus, a tenant can begin with a space in the open business lounge and eventually upgrade to a two-person office. With continued expansion, or if colleagues are visiting from remote offices, additional space can be booked for a specified duration. At Servcorp, tenants are provided with premium five-star office space that can range from virtual offices to co-working spaces and executive suites.

For international businesses, membership programs such as that offered by Regus provide remote workers with access to a global network of locations.

Opportunities for Collaboration and Networking According to the 2017 Global Co-working Survey, 71% of co-working space members collaborate. With the cross-industry pollination that can take place in a shared office space, “water

The Future of Shared Work Space The shared office movement is building momentum and is expected to skyrocket locally and within the region. It is no surprise that Regus has recently opened an additional office in Trinidad and is expanding regionally to Guyana and Jamaica.

Landlords and property owners have also caught on to the convenience of being relieved of the burden of customizing office spaces to suit individual tenants. A few local commercial property owners offer excess vacant space to consumers in a similar fashion to modern co-working models. WeWork has benefited from this trend on a global scale.

The shared office movement will belong to owners and developers who are flexible and are able to respond to tenants’ work and lifestyle needs by creating dynamic, inspiring and collaborative environments that allow for mobility, creativity and enhanced interaction among workers.

As more collaborative office layouts and open spaces take hold, dedicated office spaces will shrink. This has vast implications for commercial property owners, developers and designers who are outfitting and retrofitting the office buildings of the future.

BARBADOS GRENADA TRINIDAD

An Inside View of Luxury Caribbean Five Bedroom Villas The villa market in the Caribbean varies in price and standards throughout the region, with traditional markets like Barbados and St. Barts seeing increased competition from up and coming markets like St. Lucia, Antigua and Grenada. One area where the established markets have a proven track record is at the ultra-high end, with the availability of trophy or flagship properties.

It is clear from these properties that the established markets with their proven track records and demonstrated ability to support the high-end clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs attract a significant premium on the newer markets.

As the markets grow to provide this support with things like world class dining and entertainment they will present much more viable alternatives joining other niche locations like Jumby Bay in Antigua and Mustique which have proven unique appeal.

In order to gain a better understanding of the dynamics at this end of the market we have selected a range of five bedroom trophy properties across the region to compare.

Barbados

Tarik Browne - Group Knowledge Manager

Price: USD$28 Million

St. Barts

Price: USD$22 Million

Name: Villa Tamarindo Location: Beachfront, St. James Beachfront property in Barbados went though a period where developers looked to maximize use by building condominiums on beachfront land. Villa Tamarindo is part of a return to flagship villa development in these spaces. Designed by renowned architect Larry Warren it incorporates very modern styling with traditional Caribbean elements and really sets the tone for the other properties earmarked for the surrounding lots.

Grenada

Name: Petite Saline Villa Location: Petite Saline Hillside property in St. Barts offers spectacular views and this property overlooking the bay of Lorient and spanning across more than 3 acres with an open plan layout opening out to an infinity pool surely delivers just that. In addition to the main pool, the master bedroom has an attached private plunge pool. The property also features a tennis court.

St. Lucia

Antigua

Price: USD$4.25 Million

Price: USD$4.2 Million

Name: Laluna Villa Location: Laluna Estate, Morne Rouge

Name: Galley Bay Heights Villa Location: Galley Bay Heights, Galley Bay

One of several homes planned in a development connected with the Laluna boutique hotel the Italian designed villas offer contemporary modern designs with a Balinese influence.

Access to the amenities at the resort is included with ownership including tennis courts, gym and spa.

Luxury developments in Antigua are currently clustered in several enclaves around the island, this property is in one of them overlooking picturesque Galley Bay. Easy access to amenities such as restaurants and high-end shopping is not as common as in well established markets. The house is finished with vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors and tastefully furnished with Italian furniture.

Price: USD$8.5 Million Name: Arc en Ciel Location: Beau Estate, Soufriere With building on the beachfront in St. Lucia effected by the Queens Chain edict it is no surprise we find this property nestled in-between the Pitons and bordered by a forest reserve. This property incorporates many features of traditional Caribbean architecture with verandahs, jalousie shutters and wooden railings. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the traditional exterior fool you, however, as the house features all modern amenities you would expect of a property of this caliber.

Real Estate Investment in the Caribbean Often market commentators are heard speaking about the Caribbean as if it is a single market for real estate investment.

That is like going to the Olympics to watch sports.

There is everything from a sprint to a marathon, from horse riding to the hammer throw, and everything in between. Pick a sport please - they are not all the same. From my seat, I get to see the southern Caribbean real estate market from both the helicopter, and in the trenches. While there are similarities, perhaps it's the differences that provide the insight.

The value of real estate is constantly changing. For example, there was a time in Barbados when it would be said that property values only go up. Well we know that not to be true! The last several years have been a painful lesson in real estate economics.

So too have been the last 100 years of real estate cycles on the island. In the book “The Sugar Barons” by Matthew Parker, the

BARBADOS TOP 5 TOURISM RECORD YEAR Up 5% in 2017

first real estate boom in Barbados is highlighted having been brought on by the production of “sweet gold” in the form of sugar. The land that produced that sugar and created significant wealth for many generations still exists, but in relative terms it is worth much less today than commercial, residential, tourism, or beachfront land. In the late 1950’s a plantation owner told my father that the land at Sandy Lane was worthless as the soil was sandy and infested with crabs!

So, what drives the value of land in Barbados as compared to our neighbors in Trinidad, Grenada and St. Lucia? In order to answer this question we have looked at what we think are the top 5 drivers of value today in various markets across the region.

TRINIDAD TOP 5 PETROCHEMICAL PRICES & PRODUCTION Best since 2014

GOVERNMENT SPENDING (projects)

AVAILABILITY OF LIQUIDITY Strong

FOREIGN INVESTMENT 2017 US$ Reserves down

MARKET CONFIDENCE Declining

We must make the point that we are referring to the current market, as this too can change, just like the price of sugar changed the value for the plantation lands that produced the sugar cane. The tables below depict the top 5 drivers.

WHEN OUR MAIN SOURCE MARKETS OF BRITAIN, USA, CANADA AND EUROPE SNEEZE WE GET A COLD.

Our prediction for Barbados Property values for foreign investors will improve over the next 5 years while property values in the local market will remain stagnant. The vacation home market will improve as a result of the stronger world economy but the local market that is driven by internal demand is predicted to remain flat for the next 3 to 5 years until confidence can be regained and Government debt is reduced to a manageable level.

Our prediction for Trinidad The Trinidad economy is one of the largest in the Caribbean.

A recovery in the world prices for petro-chemical products has both an immediate effect on Government revenues as well as the long-term effect of renewed investment in the sector. We expect that the local real estate market will recover slowly over the next 18 months to 2 years.

Our prediction for St. Lucia There will be an expansion in the vacation home market and positive returns across the local real estate market as well over the next 2 to 5 years. We are seeing more demand for St. Lucia as a result of the growing tourism base and offshore sectors.

AND WHEN THEY GET A COLD WE GET DOUBLE PNEUMONIA!

Our prediction for Grenada We see a slow recovery in the real estate market driven by the improvement in the world economy. The investment climate in Grenada is viewed as improving and it would take only a few projects to further stimulate the market.

The common factors amongst Grenada, Barbados and St. Lucia are the world market influence on tourism and the environment for offshore business. Trinidad stands out in its susceptibility to the petroleum industry. It is also clear that while the various CBI programmes are a windfall for Government revenues the link to real estate values is not clear (if it exists at all). See citizenship by investment article on page 138.

When our main source markets of Britain, USA, Canada and Europe sneeze we get a cold. And when they get a cold we get double pneumonia! The small economies of the region rely on the world economy to be successful. While Governments like to take credit when it is going well, it seems that they forget that they really have no influence on such. A focus on how to keep the local economies stable so as to provide at least some resistance to the world markets would be the best approach.

Barbados still offers the safest investment for clients of the markets we reviewed, as there is depth and diversity of product not available in the others. In simple terms, if I wanted to choose industrial or commercial real estate investment, I would focus on Trinidad. If I were looking for a boutique hotel investment, I would look to St. Lucia and Grenada. Drivers for a vacation home investment go far beyond the factors we considered above and really come down to emotion and taste. Just like the Olympics, there will be a champion in each discipline - but not everyone likes them all.
